rewatching on TV i scored this fight 8-3-1 for Crawford. I could see 7-4-1 if you give Madrimov the 7th round.
Haney fat ass is finished. Even though Ryan cheated to get the W, I feel that Haney will never psychologically recover from the ass whuppin. I predict that Haney will be a gatekeeper within 3 years.
Fwiw, i dont think crawford vs. Madrimov has much bearing on crawford vs. Canelo. Canelo is way slower which against crawford would make a huge difference.
I actually agree with Double on this. I don't discount Bud's chances against Nelo. Madrimov is young, in his prime, and quick on his feet. Nelo is past it, and always had slow feet. I still feel it's a possibility Bud could pull it off, but looks like now Turki don't want it.
I dont really care. I've never enjoyed watching him fight even when he was at his peak All the opponents people want him to fight, I'd prefer they face each other and let him continue his victory lap tour
Well, I think you might get your wish on one of em. I feel like Morrell vs Benavidez will happen within the next 12 months.
Nelo has never "crushed" a fighter of Crawford's ability in his life. Far lesser fighters than Bud have had success against Nelo. Nelo may very well KO Crawford in the end, just on size and firepower, but he would struggle before that.
He might be behind for a few rounds, but after 4 at max, his size snd power makes it a very easy fight for him imo
Indeed, and it wasn't trash talk, just facts. Canelo is worth what like 200 million dollars or so? And he's still looking for easy fights. All fighters deserve some but this has gone on too long.
With boxing, you never know. Crawford seems out of his element at 154 but you make a good point...lesser fighters have gone the distance with Nelo. It’s tough to picture him stopping someone of Crawford's caliber. I could see Nelo winning by split decision... especially since he hasn't had a KO in five years.
